Last sunday I read "The Road", by Cormac McCarthy. Apparently he wrote "No Country for Old Men". Didn't see that movie, or read that book.

I wouldn't call it good, but it was an easy read and I knocked it out in an afternoon. Basically a guy and his son are trying to get to the coast. The world has burned for some unexplained reason and the last remaining survivors are barely alive. There's some cannabalism, and a good glimpse at what people are capable of, both for good and bad, in possibly the worst imaginable scenario. Even though I don't think it was really a good book, I'm glad I read it for some reason. 287 pages, big font, basic dialog. If it were any easier to read it would have been a picture book.

Anyone else read it?
